Faster than a speeding stock market crash! More powerful than a functional republic! Able to leap tall constitutional obstacles in a single bound!
Look!… Up in the sky!
It’s a bird!… It’s a plane!….It’s SuperBam!
Strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal politicians! SuperBam! ... who can change the course of mighty historical imperatives, bend Congress in his bare hands; and who, disguised as Barack Obama, mild-mannered candidate for one of two political parties, fights a never-ending battle for lies, inequality, and the Communist way!

Yep! That’s the level of discourse we face right now. If it’s THAT obvious, how come over HALF the American people haven’t tuned into it? This is a country that’s noted WORLDWIDE for our political acumen. We’re the STANDARD for political freedom, and our jealous guarding of same. THIS is the country that people are literally dying to immigrate into.
What’s wrong with this picture?
